Π̣λατον̣στουτερεντιν

Πλάτονως τοῦ Τερεντίνου

Translation

γραφὰς σφραγίζο καὶ λόγους Ἀδραλέστου. Πλάτονως τοῦ Τερεντίνου.

I seal the letters and correspondence of Adralestos. (Seal of) Plato (son of or from) Terentinos.

Commentary

The obverse presents a correct twelve-syllable verse. The reading on the reverse, following Wassiliou-Seibt, poses problems. It is by no means clear that the first letter of the first line is Π (if indeed it is a letter at all), so that the restoration of the very rare name Plato is open to doubt (although no viable alternative leaps to mind); Wassiliou-Seibt proposed that the following τοῦ Τερεντίνου was a surname indicating the owner's ancestry or origins. According to this interpretation, the owner would be Plato Adralestos, a son or descendant of Terentinos or someone originating from that place (in Sicily).
